Hi all. I'm 6 days post op and I'm tired of wearing yoga pants or pj bottoms, and I'd like to wear jeans.

Do you think its ok to wear them now? When did you start wearing them again?

Thanks!

I started wearing jeans about 3 weeks post-op. I hadn't worn them in a couple of years, because I refused to buy a larger size. So, when I tried on a pair that I used to wear and could fit into them comfortably, I wore them. It didn't bother my incisions or anything. I'm sure it's okay for you now, if you are comfortable in them. If they bother your incision AT ALL, DON'T DO IT YET. Go for it if you can.

My surgeon nurse said I could wear jeans when ever it felt comfortable to me. I'm 5 days post-op and I started wearing jeans at day 3

i hear ya heather!! i wore jeans for about 4 hours the other day & couldn't wait to get home & back in jammies! lol it's not that they bother my incisions, just the pressure on my belly is uncomfortable! i'm heading to the store in a bit....i think i'll leave the yoga pants on today!! :biggrin:

It took me 2 weeks post surgery to wear jeans - it would push too much on my new port! I almost passed out in the grocery store because I tried to wear jeans 5 days post surgery. I know it stinks but it's better than passing out!

If you are comfy in them, I don't see any harm. I wore jeans 4 days post-op. The position of my port and all my incisions are well above where the waist of my jeans hits me so it didn't irritate me at all. I think it helps if you have stretchy and/or loose jeans too. The swelling and gas would probably make tight jeans feel extra tight.

I surgery on Wednesday and by Monday I was wearing jeans and back to work. I would wear whatever you feel comfortable in.
